Windshield Replacement
A cracked or shattered windshield isn't just a visibility hazard — it's a structural safety issue. Your windshield contributes significantly to your vehicle's roof strength and airbag deployment performance. Improper installation or inferior glass can compromise both.
At Cosmetic Auto, we install OEM and OEM-equivalent glass using professional urethane adhesive, with proper cure time in our heated shop. Chicago winters create real challenges for glass installation — cold adhesive doesn't cure properly, leading to leaks and wind noise. Our heated facility ensures every windshield is installed correctly regardless of outdoor temperature. We handle insurance claims directly for most carriers.

Chip Repair & ADAS Calibration
A chip in your windshield can often be repaired for around $75 — avoiding a $600+ replacement. The key is acting before the chip spreads into a crack that makes repair impossible. We perform same-day chip repairs using professional resin injection that restores structural integrity and optical clarity.
Many modern vehicles have ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) cameras mounted to the windshield — including lane departure warning, forward collision detection, and automatic emergency braking. Any windshield replacement requires ADAS recalibration to ensure these safety systems function correctly. We perform both static and dynamic calibration in-house.
